Ruffa Gutierrez is already a household name in the pageant scene in the Philippines. She was already a popular TV and movie personality when she joined the 1993 Binibining Pilipinas pageant. Ruffa was very vocal about wanting to win the Binibining Pilipinas Universe title. However, it was awarded to Dindi Gallardo, which raised a lot of eyebrows at the time. On the other hand, Ruffa went on to represent the country in Sun City, South Africa, for the 1993 Miss World, where she placed third, behind the eventual winner Lisa Hanna of Jamaica.
